Designed to make bowls and trays, these bits rout straight sides, rounded bottom corners and a flat bottom all in one pass. These bits will quickly remove any excess material while leaving a slight radius on the edge. For best results, use with template guides or ball bearing guides. Great bit for creating"stress relief" areas in backs of large and long trim moldings. A sign maker's dream come true. Our bits are designed to make either raised or recessed letters. These bits are also used to make boxes and coasters. All bits two flute, carbide tipped. USANOTE: Item numbers ending with B feature top mounted bearing. brand - click hereWhat's the difference?

Comments:
I bought 3 bowl templates and the 3/4" bowl bit, the 144-1205B. The bit is good, but is too large to fit into the tighter areas of the template. Eagle America need to sell a smaller diameter bit with the same radius so we can use all of the template. A 1/2 pattern bit with a 1/4" radius at the bottom would do nicely.
Also, if you're looking to make bowls, I'd advise that you go ahead and get the router collet extension. You're not going to do much without it.

Router Saftey Chart - Suggested Speeds: | Bit Diameter | Max Speed | | up to 1" | 24000 RPM | | 1-1/16" to 2" | 18000 RPM | | 2-1/16" to 2-1/2" | 16000 RPM | | 2-9/16" to 3" | 14500 RPM | | over 3" | 12000 RPM | Router Saftey Tips: - Always wear eye and ear protection.
- Always use properly sharpened bits.
- Never use bits that are dull or damaged.
- Shank must be completely inserted into collet and then backed-off approximately 1/16".
- Don't "bottom-out" bit in collet.
- Never partially insert bit into collet. Tighten securely and recheck periodically for possible slippage or "run-out" due to wear.
- Keep collet clean and replace if worn.
- Never start the router with the bit in contact with wood.
- Always feed your work in the proper direction against the bit rotation.
- Don't force feed the bit or overload your router, Feed at a constant moving speed to avoid burning the wood.
- Do not face tool's discharge when operating.
- Always unplug router when changing bits or making adjustments.
- Use a router table and fence whenever possible.
- Make sure your work piece is properly secured and use push blocks, sticks and featherboards whenever possible.
- Keep all your bits, bearings and assemblies clean, lubricated, and securely fastened. To avoid damage, store them properly in a pouch, box or tray.
- The bigger the bit, the lower RPM recommended (see chart).
